It’s always a treat to get the first look in to a five-star to be able to better judge whether it is worth a check-in.

A scan through these snapshots has prompted us to give a thumbs-up to the Oberoi Group's new Trident hotel in Hyderabad.

In the midst of the IT hub, close to the SEZ, this one’s the ideal accommodation for the business traveller

Decked-Out

Much like most Trident properties by The Oberoi Group, the Hyderabad address too has the signature contemporary décor, the warm ambient lighting, and an expansive clutter-free floor plan accented tastefully by full-size artwork and chandeliers.

Checked-In

And if you’re the kind who likes to live it up king-size, you will appreciate the 323 very large accommodations segregated to include 54 Trident Club Rooms and 30 Suites.

For a lavish check-in, try the Trident Club Suite (890 sqft), and for a modest stopover, the Deluxe Room (440 sqft) will serve pretty well too.

Meal Plan

Three restaurants offer a wide selection for your mouth palette, with Amara pulling out an all-day service on world cuisine, Tuscany spicing it up with some Italian flavours, and Kanak dolling out the familiar traditionally Indian tasties.

A pre- or post-meal kickback is recommended at Trident’s in-house bar—Ninety Six—for the choicest spirits, an impressive selection of wine, and some very potent cocktails.

Work & Play

Why we recommend the hotel for the business traveller is the corporate facilities which includes eight meeting rooms (accommodates 14 easy!), two boardrooms (two private offices included), conference and banquet areas of up to 13,000 sqft, and a 2,600 sqft pre-function area too.

All spaces come completely wired with all the tech and gadgetry you could possibly need to pull-off a corporate gig.

On a side note: The hotel’s rec facilities after a hard day of work will serve you well. Care for a swim or the spa mister?
